Due to the wide metropolitan expansions and its disorientated growth and industrialization, soil contamination is increasing resulting from uncontrolled ejectment on soil and rivers, offering risks to human and animal health. For this reason, we seek for faster methods to assure contaminated areas and then lead to bioremediation. Several micro-organisms and organisms are being used in a w…
The development of big cities allied to the fast industrialization brought some environmental disorders, where the heavy metal contaminated industrial residues are poured into rivers and soil, bringing health problems for the community (Tandy et al., 2004). Among heavy metals, cadmium is considered highly dangerous, inducing human cancer, among other problems (Volesky, 1990). Cadmium toxi…
In this Project, the Student will be trained on sample handling used to determine the cadmium in aqueous solutions by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS), aiming to determine cadmium biosorption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae dead cells immobilized into 3 different supports (Sodium alginate, citric pectin and quitosana), different pHs (4,0; 7,0 e 9,0). The candidate also will be doing …
